If the engine fails to start, release the

one attempt.
OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

If the oil level warning light flickers
or remains on after starting, imme-
diately stop the engine, and then
check the engine oil level and the
vehicle for oil leakage. If neces-
sary, add engine oil, and then
check the warning light again. If
the warning light does not go off
after starting with sufficient engine
oil, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) lever back
halfway.

For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when
the engine is cold.
